The details of this mirror are unclear, but the mirror surface is very bright. The mirror body is very thin, which should be caused by frequent use and polishing. This mirror was originally stored in the Palace of Qianqing, and was prepared with a combination plate mounted satin mirror platform and a mounted satin wooden box. The lid of the box is inlaid with the pattern of Tai Chi Eight Diagrams.
